Many political decisions are made because of myths that have been repeated so many times that they have become 'hearsay' facts. Repeat something enough, and people will start believing it.

A case in point is the crime in South Africa. It is said that poverty in South Africa is the driving force behind crime. However, that does not follow logically. If poverty is the driving force behind crime then why do other countries that are way poorer than South Africa not have crime problems way worse than in South Africa?
